donbot Posted September 4, 2010 Author Share Posted September 4, 2010 Nirvana: 10 One of the best songs of the 90s The Polyphonic Spree: 8 Well, it's almost sacrilege to cover Nirvana, but I just love the juxtaposition of this song with The Polyphonic Spree, and all the energy that bursts from their performances. They're such a fun band, and this song totally goes off live if you ever get the chance to see them Original x 4 Cover x 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baby.Jude9 Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Original - 10. Nirvana. Cover - 5. I give them props for originality, and I have to admit, it's really not horrible, but... Original x 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael* Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Nirvana: 10Polyphonic Spree: 7The cover was a lot better than I expected, a pat on the collective back for trying to do something different with the song. The original however, was (and still is) one of my favourites of all time.Original x4Cover x1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Original: 10Easily one of the best songs by NirvanaCover: 3Well, they do something different with the song, and the results aren't bad... But in general the version lacks the anger of the original, which I think it's an important element of the song.Nirvana x5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
